Game Overview
Stargate Megaways is an online slot developed by Light & Wonder, using licensed audiovisual elements from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc. The slot is built around the Megaways mechanic, which introduces a dynamic number of symbols on each of the six reels. This results in a changing number of ways to win on every spin. Each outcome is determined independently, and information about the Return to Player (RTP) is displayed within the game.
The slot operates with a minimum bet of £0.20 and a maximum bet of £0.80 per spin.
Symbols and Payouts
Wins are achieved by landing matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel. Only the highest win for each combination is paid, while wins from different winning ways are added together for the total win on that spin. All payouts are linked to the selected bet size and may change if the bet changes.

Special Symbols
- Wild Symbol: Stands in for all other symbols except the Eye of Ra symbol.
- Eye of Ra Symbol: Appears only on the sixth reel during Free Spins. When landed, it resets the Free Spins count, but only applies if fewer than 20 cascades have occurred in Free Spins.
Megaways Mechanic
- On every spin, symbols can appear in various sizes, delivering a varying number of winning ways.
- The current number of possible win ways is displayed after each spin.
- When a winning combination forms, the winning symbols are removed, and new symbols fall into the empty spaces. This can create successive wins within the same round, known as cascades.
- Each win is paid before the next cascade, and payouts for the round are finalised when no further cascades appear.
Trail Feature
- The game features a Trail with 9 segments.
- Each consecutive cascade increases the Trail by one segment.
- Reaching 5 cascades in a single spin activates a random modifier feature.
- Reaching 7 or more cascades in a spin activates the bonus game.
- The Trail is only available during the base game and resets at the start of each new spin. A maximum of 9 segments can be reached per spin.
Modifiers Activated at 5 Cascades
- Random Wilds: Up to 6 wild symbols appear on reels 2 to 5.
- Expand Reel(s): Expands reels, increasing the number of symbols up to a maximum of 117,649 win ways.
- Wild Reel: Turns a single reel completely wild (applies to reels 2-5).
- Mystery Symbols: Up to 10 positions are turned into the same symbol on the matrix.
- Regenerate: Clears all symbols from the board, new symbols drop down with the same number of Megaways, followed by a respin.
Bonus Game
- The bonus is triggered by reaching the 7th, 8th, or 9th segment on the Trail through cascades.
- Awarded Free Spins depend on the segment reached: 5, 6, or 7 Free Spins respectively.
- During the bonus, there is a selection round in which players receive 7 picks from a total of 15 doors. Matching symbols behind these doors grant modifiers to be used during the Free Spins round.
- Free Spins play automatically at the bet that activated the bonus. Retriggers are only possible if the Eye of Ra symbol lands under the correct cascade conditions (fewer than 20 cascades).
Bonus Game Modifiers
- Additional Free Spins: Awards between 1 and 25 extra spins.
- Win Multiplier: Increases combination wins by the awarded multiplier value.
- Ways Increase: Each Free Spin guarantees an increasing number of ways to win.
- Reincarnate: The Eye of Ra symbol, found during Free Spins, can reset the Free Spins count up to 20 cascades.
- Cash Prizes: At Trail 7, prizes range from x5 to x50; at Trail 8 or 9, from x5 to x100. These multipliers apply to the total bet.
